ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.

it more difficult for the emergency services to
enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from
the ignition or take the electronic key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle

PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones able to
start the vehicle.
